USE CASE · SCREENPLAY TO SHORT FILM
Turn your screenplay
into an AI short film.
Paste a screenplay and FXI Studio turns it into a short film with minimal manual editing: the AI director breaks the script into scenes and shots, your characters are cast once and stay consistent in every scene, and the finished shots stitch into a cut you can export.

Scripts that became films
Both films started as a written scene plan and were cast, rendered and stitched in FXI Studio. Open either one to read the original plan beside the finished cut.
0:41Watch The Artisan
An old boatbuilder and his granddaughter finish a wooden skiff in his shed, then row it out onto a misty bay at dawn, where a white dove lands on the bow.
0:17Watch The Dreamers
Three golden-hour moments of joy: a paper airplane released over a city skyline, a sunrise run through the surf, and a couple dancing under falling confetti.
HOW IT WORKS
How to turn a screenplay into an AI short film
From a script to a stitched, exportable short in four steps.
- Step 01
Paste the screenplay
Hand the full script to Bezaleel, the AI director. It reads the scenes, pulls out the recurring characters and locations, and proposes a shot list for each scene with framing and camera moves.
- Step 02
Cast the characters once
Each named character becomes a saved character with a reference sheet. From here every shot that mentions them renders the same face, wardrobe and build, scene after scene.
- Step 03
Approve stills, then render
Every shot is rendered as a still first so you approve the look of the scene before video spends a credit. Then the shots render and each one chains from the last frame of the one before it.
- Step 04
Stitch the cut and finish
The scenes assemble in order inside the same workspace. Add dialogue, voiceover or music, trim, and export the finished short in 16:9 or 9:16. No separate editing app is needed.
Screenplay to AI short film FAQ
Yes. In FXI Studio you paste the script, the AI director breaks it into scenes and shots, recurring characters are saved once so they stay consistent, and the finished shots stitch in script order inside the same workspace. Your manual work is approving stills and trimming the cut, not operating five tools.
No. Standard screenplay formatting works, and so does plain prose with scene headings. The director reads for scenes, characters, locations and action, so the clearer those are on the page, the closer the first shot list matches your intent.
Each named character is saved with a reference sheet, and that reference is attached to every shot that character appears in. Frame chaining then hands each shot the frame the previous one ended on, so faces, wardrobe and lighting carry across cuts instead of resetting.
Yes. Dialogue shots render the spoken line with the picture, and you can add voiceover or narration over any scene. Music beds are added in the same workspace before export.
Short films work best: a few pages, two to six scenes, five to fifteen minutes of screen time or less. A feature-length script is better produced scene by scene as separate projects that share the same saved cast.
